I understand you're mad about losing a "hometown station," but the Easy Listening format has been mostly gone from American radio for nearly three decades. KAHM was a holdout because Lou Silverstein was not the kind of person who liked change, even if that change meant more money in his bank account. His widow has been trying to keep it afloat for the past three years since his death, and eventually she knew that the time would come.
Things like this have happened in small towns all across the country. Other owners, including Sanford Cohen and Grant Hafley do provide local news and information on their stations, even if the music is piped in via satellite. No one is bringing back a music format where the target audience was those born before World War II started.
